Nice concept, rather well illustrated, and I love the BG choice.. The color on that monitor really should have been adjusted to match his tie though...

Isn't the whole world these days! Good clear stock shot, but the blinds in the background just make it feel a touch cluttered.

Nice composition, and facial expression. A little politically incorrect, but that shouldn't hurt.

Would make a nice stock image. I like that you put him in an authentic looking setting verses just setting him in front of a white backdrop.

The striped background is distracting

That is just so not politically correct but so true! Best one! 8

Looks like a classic stock photo. Well composed. Maybe use slightly shallower DOF to blur the background blinds more.

I wonder if a stock agency would accept this with his head cut off the top.

Very professional looking.

ROFL! I like your style :) We take ourselves MUCH too seriously...

I was one time criticized because I took a photo of someone with blinds in the background, I'm not sure if having a solid background would help your image or not. I think it is good.

Everything is great about this, except for the composition, there is seemingly a redundant space in the top left. If that were reserved for text space then the background pattern isnt useful. I'd probably have cropped it to the where the wire exits the frame.

great coloring and very crisp (7)

Pretty good. Maybe a tiny bit more contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/04/2010 01:35:48 PM
Perfect!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/04/2010 01:00:59 PM
Best that meets the "stock photo" criteria, imo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is really good. What a surprise to have it pop up as the first photo I'm voting on! 8

a classic one. Great!

Good job Sekar! I had a feeling I will see you in this challenge and I am glad you captured the real operator - unlike all the stock photographs that only show the fake operators :-)

Great lighting, clarity, and facial expression. The background works well for this photo.

Great stock image. I think the left side of his shirt might be a little over bright (can't see details), but other than that great shot.

Simple and elegant.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/04/2010 12:36:00 AM
Actually pretty good. Top of his head missing, so that hurts. Background should have been solid.
